Membrane switches constitute an integrated operating system combining key functions, indicator elements, and instrument panels. They comprise four components: the front panel, upper circuit, isolation layer, and lower circuit. Upon pressing the membrane switch, the upper circuit's contact point deforms downward, making contact with the lower circuit's electrode plate to complete the circuit. When the finger is released, the upper circuit contact point springs back, breaking the circuit and triggering a signal. Membrane switches feature a compact structure, aesthetically pleasing design, and excellent sealing properties. They offer moisture resistance and extended service life. These switches find widespread application across electronic communications, electronic measurement instruments, industrial control systems, medical equipment, the automotive industry, smart toys, and household appliances.
Hongmao specialises in customising various membrane switch panels, including dome switch keypads, FPC membrane switches, and circuit-integrated membrane switches.
Sealed and waterproof: The integrated structure effectively isolates moisture, oil contamination and dust, making it suitable for demanding applications such as industrial control and medical equipment.
Extended Lifespan Design: Withstands over 100,000 press cycles, significantly outlasting conventional mechanical switches.
Lightweight Construction: Measuring merely 0.5–1.5mm thick, accommodates modern equipment's space-efficient requirements.
Customisable Solutions: Supports advanced technologies like metal springs and dual-contact points to enhance actuation precision, suitable for precision instruments and industrial apparatus.
